January 9, 2018

LEHIGH VALLEY, PA – The New Year is bringing new beginnings for many buyers at Sterling Estates, the intimate collection of just 41 estate-style single-family homes in Lower Nazareth, PA.

Heightened sales velocity in fall and early winter has resulted in nearly 75% of the residences in the community’s second housing phase sold and brought an enthusiastic group of new homeowners to the Lehigh Valley community. The flurry of activity is fast transitioning Sterling Estates into an established address with its suburban streetscapes coming into focus and neighborly feel on display.

The sales success at Sterling Estates and its growing popularity in this burgeoning housing market can be largely attributed to a creative offering program devised by its developer, Sterling Properties. Residences at the suburban neighborhood are released in various stages of construction to meet the specific timelines and needs of a broad range of homebuyers, including young couples relocating to eastern Pennsylvania for work or affordability to local families looking to move-up to luxury estate-style living.

“Many of our purchasers know they want a new construction home, complete with designer appointments and modern features, but may not be willing to wait the traditional construction timeline,” says Nick Hollenbeck, Sterling’s Director of Sales and Marketing. “They’ve shopped around at other Lehigh Valley communities and have returned to Sterling Estates where they receive the best of both worlds, a high quality home that can be personalized with upgrades and delivered shortly after closing. It’s been a significant factor in our effective sales program.”

Sterling Estates’ eight distinctive designs accommodate the lifestyle of many buyer types. The community’s new home inventory provides residences with varying construction timelines, including “Quick Delivery” residences with accelerated move-in dates and premium homesites for a custom, ground-up build.
